Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups (225 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) milk
- 1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs
Leavening Agents:
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Seasoning:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare the oven environment by heating to 350°F (175°C) and arrange paper liners in a 12-cup muffin tin.
- Create a dry ingredient mixture by whisking flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a medium bowl.
- Transform butter and granulated sugar into a light, airy consistency by creaming them thoroughly in a large bowl.
- Incorporate eggs individually into the butter-sugar mixture, then blend in vanilla extract until smooth.
- Construct the batter by gradually introducing dry ingredients and milk, alternating in three and two parts respectively, mixing until just harmonized.
- Distribute batter evenly across prepared cupcake liners, ensuring balanced portioning.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes at 350°F, confirming doneness by inserting a toothpick that emerges clean.
- Craft frosting by whipping softened butter and confectioners sugar until achieving a silky, uniform texture.
- Enhance frosting with milk and vanilla extract, beating until achieving a fluffy, spreadable consistency.
- Allow cupcakes to cool completely before adorning with desired amount of frosting.
Notes
- Ensure butter and eggs are at room temperature for better mixing and smoother batter texture.
- Avoid overmixing the batter to prevent tough, dense cupcakes by stopping when ingredients are just combined.
- Rotate the muffin tin halfway through baking to guarantee even browning and consistent rise.
- Customize the recipe by swapping milk with dairy-free alternatives like almond or oat milk for lactose-intolerant bakers.
